कोविड-19 से लड़ने के लिए वैश्विक आपूर्ति श्रृंखलाओं का लाभ उठाना
जब भारत में कोविड-19 की दूसरी लहर आई, तो ऑक्सीजन, चिकित्सा उपकरणों और जीवन रक्षक दवाओं की कमी के कारण स्वास्थ्य संकट और बढ़ गया। इस लेख में, सी वीरामणि और अन्वेषा बसु तर्क देते हैं कि भारत सरकार के आत्मनिर्भर या आत्मनिर्भरता के रुख के विपरीत, वैश्विक आपूर्ति श्रृंखलाओं पर भरोसा करना अप्रत्याशित स्वास्थ्य झटकों का सामना करने के लिए एक बेहतर रणनीति है।
Leveraging global supply chains to fight Covid-19
When the second wave of Covid-19 hit India, the health catastrophe was compounded by shortages of oxygen, medical equipment, and life-saving drugs. In this post, C Veeramani and Anwesha Basu contend that contrary to the Indian government’s Atmanirbhar or self-reliance stance, relying on global supply chains is a better strategy to achieve resilience against unexpected health shocks.

This article informs this debate by empirically analysing which one of these strategies would result in higher levels of domestic value added and employment in a developing country like India.
